Increasing amounts of plastic waste in the environment and their fragmentation into smaller
particles known as microplastics (particles,< 5 mm) have raised global concerns due to their …

Plastic is a synthetic polymer that is widely used in almost every field of life. The massive use
of this synthetic polymer has led to the accumulation of this polymer in the environment thus …

The yearly worldwide interest in using polymers reliably expanded over the ongoing years.
The marine plastic pollution is increasing because of the plastic wastes thrown into the …

Exploring plastic bacterial community succession is a crucial step in analyzing and
predicting the ecological assembly processes of the plastisphere and its associated …

The biodegradation of low density polyethylene (LDPE) was studied by employing a
microbial strain isolated from the dumping site soil. The bacterium strain was identified as …

Globally, an overwhelming amount of plastic waste, approximately 400 million tons (Mt), is
generated each year. The ocean plastic waste alone is expected to grow from 50 Mt in 2015 …

Purpose This study aims to screen bacterial isolates from the Addis Ababa municipal solid
waste dumping site (Koshe) for the biodegradation of low-density polyethylene bags and …

Low density polyethylene (LDPE) has been widely used commercially for decades;
however, as a non-degradable material, its continuous accumulation has contributed to …

Chlorpyriphos is one of the major organophosphorus pesticides used widely to control a
range of insect pests across several crops. This insecticide is hazardous to the environment …

The involvement of microorganisms in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) degradation is
widely studied across the globe. Even though soil, landfills, and garbage dumps are …
